. . .. . Aylor
created a wide range of jigs for steam-bending chair
parts. Here are some examples. Jig "A"
was
used to bend rear uprights for rocking chairs. Jig
"B" is a
hefty jig used to bend a scroll arm for a chair. Jig
"C"
was used to bend thin slats for a slat-back chair. Item
"D" is a partially-completed prototype of a carving done by Aylor's
wife presumably in anticipation of using it on future furniture
projects.
______________________________________________. Aylor created a wide range of patterns that he used to make his furniture. Here is one such large pattern for a headboard held against the finished piece. Additional examples of Aylor's large collection of patterns. Here are patterns or chair back tops. .
On the lighter side, here is what appears to be a "Penny Bank" made by Aylor for his children. The craftsmanship is up to his usual standards -including using several different woods. And the fact that the bank is sealed makes whatever savings went in "stay put." . .Click Here for Page Three |
